[undi] Allow underlying PXE stack to construct link-layer header
Some PXE stacks (observed with a QLogic 8242) will always try to
prepend a link-layer header, even if the caller uses P_UNKNOWN to
indicate that the link-layer header has already been filled in. This
results in an invalid packet being transmitted.
Work around these faulty PXE stacks where possible by stripping the
existing link-layer header and allowing the PXE stack to (re)construct
the link-layer header itself.

[iscsi] Send any padding inline with the data segment
Some iSCSI targets respond to a PDU before receiving the padding
bytes. If the target responds quickly enough, this can cause iPXE to
start processing a new TX PDU before the padding bytes have been sent,
which results in a protocol violation.
Fix by always transmitting the padding bytes along with the data
segment.

The RTC-based entropy source uses the nanosecond-scale CPU TSC to
measure the time between two 1kHz interrupts generated by the CMOS
RTC. In a physical machine these clocks are driven from independent
crystals, resulting in some observable clock drift. In a virtual
machine, the CMOS RTC is typically emulated using host-OS
constructions such as SIGALRM.

[rng] Add ANS X9.82 Approved Source of Entropy Input
ANS X9.82 specifies several Approved Sources of Entropy Input (SEI).
One such SEI uses an entropy source as the Source of Entropy Input,
condensing each entropy source output after each GetEntropy call.
This can be implemented relatively cheaply in iPXE and avoids the need
to allocate potentially very large buffers.
(Note that the terms "entropy source" and "Source of Entropy Input"
are not synonyms within the context of ANS X9.82.)
Use the iPXE API mechanism to allow entropy sources to be selected at
compilation time.

[prefix] Delay initrd image copy until memory map is ready

[pxe] Provide PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only for ipxelinux.0 builds
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK is designed to allow ipxelinux.0 to unload both
the iPXE and pxelinux components without affecting the underlying PXE
stack. Unfortunately, it causes unexpected behaviour in other
situations, such as when loading a non-embedded pxelinux.0 via
undionly.kpxe. For example:
PXE ROM -> undionly.kpxe -> pxelinux.0 -> chain.c32 to boot hd0
would cause control to return to iPXE instead of booting from the hard
disk. In some cases, this would result in a harmless but confusing
"No more network devices" message; in other cases stranger things
would happen, such as being returned to the iPXE shell prompt.
The fundamental problem is that when pxelinux detects
PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK, it may attempt to specify an exit hook and then
exit back to iPXE, assuming that iPXE will in turn exit cleanly via
the specified exit hook. This is not a valid assumption in the
general case, since the action of exiting back to iPXE does not
directly cause iPXE to exit itself. (In the specific case of
ipxelinux.0, this will work since the embedded script exits as soon as
pxelinux.0 exits.)
Fix the unexpected behaviour in the non-ipxelinux.0 cases by including
support for PXENV_FILE_EXIT_HOOK only when using a new .kkkpxe format.
The ipxelinux.0 build process should therefore now use undionly.kkkpxe
instead of undionly.kkpxe.

On at least one PXE stack (Realtek r8169), PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE has
been observed to fail intermittently due to a media test failure (PXE
error 0x00000061). Retrying the call to PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE
succeeds, and the NIC is then usable.
It is worth noting that this particular Realtek PXE stack is already
known to be unreliable: for example, it repeatably fails its own
boot-time media test after every warm reboot.
Fix by attempting PXENV_UNDI_INITIALIZE multiple times, with a short
delay between each attempt to allow the link to settle.

The RS bit is used to instruct the NIC to update the TX descriptor
status byte. The RPS bit is used to instruct the NIC to defer this
update until after the packet has been transmitted on the wire (rather
than merely read into the transmit FIFO).
The driver currently sets RPS but not RS. Some e1000 models seem to
interpret this as implying that the status byte should be updated;
some don't. On the ones that don't, we never see any TX completions
and so rapidly run out of TX buffers.
Fix by setting the RS bit in the TX descriptor. (We don't care about
when the packet reaches the wire, so don't bother setting the RPS
bit.)
